#24: Renovating A Kitchen In Under A Week (Crazytown!)

DJ, drop the beat! And by beat, I mean the show notes for Episode #24 of kokokara Has A Podcast.This week we’re chatting with our friends from the blog Chris Loves Julia, who have renovated three kitchens in three years – and they’ve even redone a kitchen in under 6 days (!!!).
